Its a good skill to learn to back a boat....then you dont have to worry about putting the boat away by hand.

6x4 is very hard with the land cruiser I can’t see it and by the time you see it in the wing mirrors it’s too late

Yep know the feeling when i use the territory.
I cant even see it with the 2 foot cage on it.

I can see the top of the cage when i tow it with the commadoor but still cant see it with the side mirrows till after it starts to turn.

If anyone has a boat or trailer to heavy to push and manoevre you can get motorised jockey wheels that run on 12 volts for about $300.00. A friend of mine bought one not long ago off ebay. Works a treat.

Put a plastic bollard in the trailer
You'll find one laying around somewhere after roadworks.
